- Just because you’re not a drummer, doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep time.- Don’t play the piano part, I’m playing that. Don’t listen to me. I’m supposed to be accompanying you!- Always leave them wanting more.- What should we wear tonight? Sharp as possible!- Whatever you think can’t be done, somebody will come along & do it. A genius is the one most like himself.
